    Why are you giving our country away? I thought you was elected to serve and protect our country and our citizens. Let us drill for our own oil, open up new oil fields, and allow more exploration. Please get off your duffs and get it done. Also secure our borders and quit giving away our rights to illegals and to the ARABS. I will remember come election time what you have done for or what you have not done for the citizens of our great nation. To bad most of you forgot about us tax payers, you know the ones who put you there in first place and pay your salarys. DRILL, DRILL, DRILL

    Yes we most drill in ANWR and other location in the U.S. We also need to build new refinery's. Plus you need to put a stop to these speculators driving up the prices of Oil. We need to do something soon, there is no reason that we should have to depend on other counties for Oil when we have plenty of OIL in the U.S.

    Were has all the common sense gone?

    We also need a petition to stop the red tape and allow refineries to be built.

    Dear Sirs,
    Unfortunately, it looks as if our representatives in Washington, D.C. have forgotten who pays their salaries. Our founding fathers designed this country so the people would have the greater power, not the government, but things seem to have gotten turned around lately.
    I think I speak for many people in this country when I say that our patience is wearing thin and the nonsense that is going on in our federal, state and local governments is going to have to cease.
    This is not yet a socialist country. This is the United States of America; the greatest country this planet has ever seen and we're not going to turn it over to a handful of power-hungry, God hating marxists without a fight.
    I volunteered to go to Vietnam in 1969. I felt it was my responsibility as an American to fight wherever a peoples' freedom was threatened. I still believe that I made the right choice in going there but the socialists back home wouldn't let us win in Vietnam and the same forces have been fighting for our defeat in Iraq today.
    Now the fight for freedom is here. The freedom that we've loved, fought and died for is being taken away one little bite at a time. It's like being nibbled to death by ducks.
    We have enough oil, natural gas, coal, etc., to take care of our energy needs for years to come. Alternative sources of energy will replace them eventually, but until that happens, it's our right as a people to use whatever resources we have and anyone in government that says otherwise is a traitor.
    We are America. This is our country. There is an evil that is trying to take control but we're not going to let that happen.

Not to mention, the promise of lower gas prices by the Communist (Democrat) Party 2 years ago....yea, only idiots voted for you, no wonder you want to run our school system....more dumbing down of America, and make them reliant on the government...glad I enrolled my kids in a private school! Sen. Casey, are you getting this? What an empty suit you are, real nice new direction...no wonder the voters in our country have so much apathy for you weasels in government.

The only upside i can see in this mess that we have allowed to happen because we have failed to curb the growth of goverment, is when the meltdown comes maybe enough of us will remain to help guide the next incarnation of our society so they will not repeat our mistakes.

    Someone in this government of ours, The United States of America, needs to step up and put a stop to the excessively high prices we are currently paying for fuel, and the extremely excessive prices we have yet to see. Instead of everyone doing nothing, SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING. The average consumer has yet to witness the total impact the extrememly high fuel prices are going to have on everything that is purchased, from fuel, to food, to utilities, to services such as child care, and everything and anything else you can think of. All one needs to do is figure out how much they are actually spending for fuel for their own use, and then realize just what transportation costs are for trucks to deliver goods for them to purchase. I can use my own job as an example. Last year at this time, to deliver the goods for the company I work for, my vehicle used aproximately $250 to $300 per week in fuel. Right now, the same vehicle, on the same route is using $650 to $700 per week. This country is not headed for a recession, it is headed for an ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.

    OPEC has to be laughing their asses off knowing that we are sitting on more oil reserves in the United States than in the Arab nations and we are stupid enough to allow a few liberal conservationists to block further drilling for our own oil and natural gas. I actually worked at one time at Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope of Alaska. I was responsible for implementing a safety and environmental plan for BP's contractors working on the slope. You can not believe how concerned BP and ARCO are on preserving this land. When the pipeline was first constructed, the liberals said that it would threaten the carobou. Now they're thriving. Wake up America. Let's use our own resources. Clinton once said that it would take 10 years to bring ANWR on line. Well, guess what. It's been ten years and we're still relying on OPEC.

    Its our oil or more specifically, Alaska's oil. But you'll let us keep paying $4+ for gas when we have our own supply? Even if we just announce that we are going to drill the gas prices will plummet. Are the few enviromentalists exaggerated fears (they always scream doom & gloom) worth the rest of the nation suffering?
    Face it sir, we are not going to have an alternative that is price competetive for years.
    Let's drill and create some American jobs as well as keep many others.

    On a different subject, schools, we'll know you're serious when you become proponents of competition verse unions, in the meantime we'll continue to lose the edge, spending more and learning less.

    No more demagoguing identity politics ok, it serves no one.

    Just a reminder, federal representatives are supposed to represent ALL Americans and legislate within the limits of the constitution to protect individual liberty and freedom. You weren't elected to the state legislature, you were elected to represent ALL Americans, and it's not about what the mob/majority wants, not when it infringes upon someone else's rights. It ain't about preferential rights, it's about equal rights. Please keep it in mind.

    Senators and representatives,

    Remember who you work for! We the people
    Everytime we are forced to buy oil or gas from another country we see the poor planning of our government of the past. Everytime you refuse to let America drill for our own oil or increase refinery capacity you compound the bad ideas of those who were elected before you.
    Alternative energy and new inovation will be the way of the future, but remember, oil is not only used for our cars and trucks. It is the life blood of thousands of products and processes.
    By not helping America offset the world demand by not expanding our own production will cost Americans more and more money. I gauantee you if that happens, you will all loose your jobs.

    I lived and worked in Alaska for 14 years. I have worked in the Prudhoe Bay and Kapurak fields on the North Slope. We have proved that we can produce oil and still be good stewards of the environment. It is time to stop pandering to the special interest groups and do what is best for the country. At the very least you need to go up and see for yourself the area that is being called a "pristine wilderness" and educate yourself. We need leaders that will stand up and do what needs to be done and not a bunch of sheep in congress that will be herded in the direction that special interest groups want them to go.

    For America to deprive itself of it's own natural resources borders on insanity. This coupled with a self-destructive sociological trend perpetrated by Senators and Congressman with blinders on will send this American ship down while the propagators stand just above water smiling and waving saying, "See, we were right, believe in us." Their water soaked words will continue to preach their mantra as their breath is replaced by water. Also, the alarmist's global warming myth which is shoved down our throats by the liberal media puts our society in such jeopardy as to wonder if, and when, we can ever recover from the economic implosion that is evident.

    I don't understand why you don't allow oil companies to drill in ANWR. The economic benefits greatly outweigh any possible danger to the local wildlife. The occurance of mistakes is rare; moreover, while we debate the SWOTT's of allowing drilling other countries are drilling just miles off our coasts. The same dangers are present with this drilling and if an accident happens is less likely to be corrected properly due to the distance from each home country leaving us (the USA) to clean up the mess anyway. In a global economy, it is the country that drags its feet when making decisions for its own country that suffers recession, decreased national value and falls in the ranks of global economic power.

    With the drilling in ANWR, a national progression will come quickly. The price of oil (more importantly GAS) will drop to a reasonable level. This will stimulate the economy by allowing more money to be spent in the economy. It allows more people to travel supporting our countries tourism. Finally, it gives the public a sense that their government is working to better the country for which many have fought and died to keep us a free country.

    The time to tell the middle eastern oil producing country's as well as Venezuala and the insane, sympathetic environmentalist movement in this Country to pound sand has come and gone. 73% to 75% of the American population approve's of oil production and exploration here in our Country.
    When are you the ELECTED, going to wake up ?. with each passing month, global warming is continually proven to be the hoax that it really is, junk science looking for politic's and the great unwashed to support it, and You the ELECTED continue to try and pass this marxist garbage onto the population. the anwr " refuge " is nothing more than a swamp, and without wearing a protective bug suit a humanbeing could not exist for more than 3 to 4 hour's before expireing from mosquito bite's.
    Please, don't bother to hand me any nonsensical disinformation regarding polar bear's either, this ploy has been debunked as well. drilling here is the answer to several different problem's this Country now face's, as well, drilling can be done in an environmentally freindly manner. and if you, the ELECTED, continue to turn the proverbial blind third eye away from the United State's Of America's capability to become increasingly less dependent on foreign oil, then it's high time to ELECT representative's that will wholeheartedly support exactly what 73% to 75% of the population
    want's, regarding energy independence.


    Oh yeah, one more thing. when are you the ELECTED, going to absorb and understand the fact that the Constitution Of The United State's Of America Clearly Is Not A Living Document ?.

The people who vote for you are being gravely injured by your refusal to allow American oil companies to drill and dig our own oil out of our own ground and oceans.

    Get off your ass's now, and allow drilling, not only in Alaska, but wherever we can. We The People are tired of being held subject to a bunch of rag heads who have never created anything, or contributed anything, anywhere, to the advancement of civilization.

    Drill damn it, drill.

    I believe that the Democrats should accept the blame for high gas prices. I remember Hitlery, Schummer,and Pelosi promising us that if we Elected Republicans in 2006, we would have to pay $3.00 per gal. of gas. What they failed to tell us is that when we gave them power we will be payig $4.00 to $5.00 per gallon. $3.00 now seems to be a bargin!! The problem is Pelosi and her minions are beholding to the enviorMENTALists.

    Please engage in the movement to pursue our own US oil resources. Contrary to a minority belief, the US can and should drill our way out of the current oil crisis and it is nothing short of madness that we have not already. I urge you to help change the attitude in Washington for the sake of the US economy and for the sake of the nation's defense.

    Stop funding terrorism and drill in ANWR, drill in our shale deposits, drill off our coasts, build some refinaries, eliminate the seasonal blends since man made global warming is a myth. The one fact that should end the argument is we've had more than one ice age on this planet, therefore we have had more than one global warming period on this planet, all before modern man existed. Wake up America! Coal mine fires in China (there are many more across Asia) each year release 360 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, as much as all the cars and light trucks in the United States, but the federal government wants to buy into (that would be with our tax dollars) the carbon credit debacle.

    second it will stop empowering those who seek to destroy our way of life , when we buy middle eastern oil we send our money to people who support terrorist either directly or indirectly if we dont buy there oil they dont get money to finance there jihad

    I currently know of no one who has vacationed in ANWR nor do I know of anyone planning to vacation there. I cannot understand the legislators' hesitation to drill for the huge reserves of oil there It's not like we are destroying the Hawaiian Islands! Drilling in the area would improve the economy for the locals as well as increasing our own oil supply. One of the criticisms of the "Trans-Alaskan" oil pipeline was that the caribou population would diminish. The exact opposite has happened with increased herds of caribou keeping warm along the length of the oil pipeline. Please consider tapping those much needed reserves of oil. Thank you

    I would like to request that the govt. withdraw the listing of the polar bear. It shouild not be listed as threatened because the numbers show that it definately is not. Please deny all lawsuits attempting to have the bear reclassified to the endangered species list. There are approvimately 25,000 polar bears today, in 1970 there were approximately 5,000 polar bears. This does not sound like an endangered species if they have multiplied from 5,000 to 25,000. Please look at all the facts before you do anything about reclassification. Also please check with Canadian ministries for their findings on the polar bear. We should be drilling in Anwr and off the coasts as well.

    As a resident of Texas I feel that I must let my feelings on the matter of national energy policy be known. I feel that no stone should be left unturned. I feel that all forms of energy should be on the table, to include wind, solar, and nuclear power. But most importantly I feel that we should not neglect domestic oil and natural gas production. As a conservative, I will not allow the extreme environmental lobby to speak for me nor do I believe it speaks for the nation as a whole. As a texan I feel very strongly that we can and should exploit our natural resources in a safe and wise manner. I know that technology allows us to exploit our natural resources in a manner that is effecient and environmentally sound. I state, emphatically, we need to build more refineries, drill off-shore, and drill in oil shale. But to the point of this pettion, we need to open up the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge to oil exploration and drilling. As stated above, this can be done in a manner that is environmentally sound and gives us the use of needed resources. I have heard the argument that it takes time for oil to reach the market and I am aware that certain people state that it would take up to 10 years for ANWR oil to reach the market. My answer to this is, let us begin it now, so that 10 years from now we are not saying the same thing. I must most respectfully add that if I find that any elected official in my district does not follow through in this matter, I will let my feelings be known through the ballot box.

If we can't bring ourselves to take our own oil from our own coasts, how about drilling off the coast of China? Personally I see no reason not to be using all the resourses God gave us.

    The position of not allowing exploration,recovery,and refining of our own natural resources is
    criminal. If put to a national vote it would be an overwhelming victory in favor of drilling and mining within the 48 states. Putting the United States on track to become energy independent while alternative energy sources are studied. How could congress block such measures? The arrogance congress shows toward the American public is appalling! How dare you deny The citizens of the country what is rightfully theirs. Every vote against exploration puts more and more americans onto hard times! And please don't give me the big Oil speech,I don't buy it. Especially when The goverment makes larger profits than the oil companies on gas taxes for doing nothing. I hear time and time again how we have to become energy independent. Well the only way to do that is to drill! We have no other viable energy source to keep the the nation solvent and prosporous. I hear time and time again from this delegation about helping the poor! When was the last time a poor man gave you a job? Free our energy supply so "OUR" country can prosper. Wealth is the only solution to porverty. Simple logic. Vote for drilling. Do the right thing. There is no other viable options. Green
    energies are in their infancy,are too small scale to help us out of the jam this counrty is in,and it is never really any presidents fault that their energy policies fail. It is congress that fails the country!

    Dear Senator or Congressman, I have signed this petition in the hope that "We The People" still have a voice in matters concerning the welfare of ourselves, our neighbors, and our country. If you are one of the multitude of politicians opposing drilling in ANWR and Off-shore for that matter, I have to ask is there any price too high for gasoline, diesel, natural gas, home heating oil, etc. to reach for you to change your mind? Perhaps you are more beholding to the enviromentalist (they seem to wield more power in this country than a Senator or a Congressman such as yourself) or do you still answer to your constituants and fellow countryman? Don't get me wrong, I love a clean community and countryside, and mistakes concerning the enviroment have been made in the past, however ANWR remaining off limits while the country's economy faces a sure collapse will be on all political heads who oppose any and all means to increase the supply in an attempt to reduce the cost of oil before it is too late. By the way I am of the opinion that no country on this earth is more enviromentally responsible and friendly than this great nation of ours, however the enviroment should not be a cut our own throats at all costs kind of deal. The time is now for all lawmakers to recognize and to react to the dire consequences this nation faces in not opening all avenues of oil supplies. Thank You.

    created by and for Americans will ensure a clean, healthy environment !!!! The United States has the cleanest air and water in the world because we have the wealth and resources to clean up after ourselves. Limiting our energy resources will doom the environment to pollution and destruction. Even the government can not fund cleanup if there are no longer jobs and industries to tax for revenues for environmental purposes. Unleash our US Oil Companies to go and get our own energy.

    2) I WILL REMEMBER the names of those that stand up for drilling our own oil as well as those opposed to it!

    3) nobody is against new technologies for powering our great nation (AMERICA), why do WE THE PEOPLE need to suffer by spending more money on fuel until such time comes?

    4) NOT drilling for our own oil is becoming a national security issue!

    I DEMAND THAT YOU, AS MY ELECTED LEADER, TAKE ACTION AND SUPPORT DRILLING IN ANWR AS WELL AS OTHER PLACES AROUND THIS GREAT NATION! THIS IS NOT A 10 MILLION PIECE JIGSAW PUZZLE, THE ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM IS REALLY VERY SIMPLE!

    You, our leaders, have caused this energy and economic crisis in the U.S. Your years of hindering progress must end. The American people now insist that you stop interfering with the oil companies' ability to meet our needs. You must wake up from this elitist haze that you all seem to be adrift in, and finally understand that lower taxes, less government interference, and the generation of so-called green houses gases are good not only for our economy; but also for society, the environment, and ultimately the world. Lastley, anyone who says, "We can't drill our way out of this problem." is an abject idoit; and should never be in any position of leadership anywhere! The very fact is we
    've been asking our oil producing allies to produce more oil (i.e. drill the way out of the problem for us.) They are at maximum capacity while, inconveniently, the world is at maximum consumption. I would definitely say that it's time for us as a nation to step up, take responsibility for supplying our own needs, and start drilling anywhere that we can access oil.

    This may be the opinion of just one American; but I think you will find that it's shared by many others. How you respond to our needs will have direct bearing on your continued employment. Consider this a written reprimand from your employer, the citizens of the United States of America.

    I send you this note as a request to start putting pressure on yourself and colleagues to reconsider the reluctance to resolve our gasoline and oil crisis by aggressively drilling for oil domestically, and increasing gasoline production in the United States. I really don’t know what your individual stands are on this issue – I am almost sure it is on partisan lines - but I encourage you to consider the economic strain our elected officials are placing on those who pay taxes and support you. Please sit back and consider who is most important to you, us your constituents, or a few environmental zealots with personal agendas. Thank you for your attention and I wish you well and good judgment.

    Not drilling for oil we have, yet complaining that OPEC sets the price is like complaining about a Supermarket's price for carrots when you own a farm that isn't used.

    The cost of gasoline is out of control. We need to become more self-sufficient! We have the resources and should be using them.
